Here's the 717,

here's 717 with shield down,

here's the 575,

and 575 with shield down,

I don't go thru the surf with it mounted anyway, so i use either one. I mainly use the 717 though, my p13 has the 575 quad beam trans in it and they kinda go together, both units are compatible with either trans i just had put the 575 w/ the quad trans in the p13 before i got the trident, and it's "mounted with marine goop pretty solid so thats were it stays.
Here's a question for anybody who has mounted there Humm FF in the bowl, drilled a hole and used a water tight wire seal "behind the mount",
have you checked your wires lately, when i was taking pics of my FF's for this post i found this.

it's kinda "blurry"and i had already taped up one wire with orange electrical tape before i thought of taking a picture, but if you look close you can see the other wire is also exposed, and it's from the wire seal behind the mount the nut on it is taking up the little bit of space between the mount and the boat and giving the wires no room to push back in, "so there getting pinched when you adjust your mount to close the shield.

Here's the back plate,

"Well i hope nobodies wires look like mine".
